CVE-2018-8019 Apache Tomcat Native Connector - Mishandled OCSP invalid response

Severity: Moderate

Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:
Apache Tomcat Native 1.2.0 to 1.2.16
Apache Tomcat Native 1.1.23 to 1.1.34

Description:
When using an OCSP responder Tomcat Native did not correctly handle invalid 
responses. This allowed for revoked client certificates to be incorrectly 
identified. It was therefore possible for users to authenticate with revoked 
certificates when using mutual TLS.
Users not using OCSP checks are not affected by this vulnerability.

Mitigation:
Users of the affected versions should apply one of the following
mitigations:
- Upgrade to Apache Tomcat 1.2.17 or later
  Note: This version was included in Apache Tomcat 9.0.10 onwards, 8.5.32
        onwards, 8.0.53 onwards and 7.0.90 onwards.
